Episode 19 - SS City of Everett
Manage episode 295746365 series 2869654
This week we discuss the history of one of the most unique type of vessels in maritime history - the whaleback.
The focus of the episode is on the SS City of Everett, but to tell that story we have to also discuss Alexander McDougall and his dream of a new type of steamship, designed to be invulnerable to wind and wave.
*Originally released 6/23/21; edited and re-uploaded 3/5/22
Pacific Steel Barge Company and the whaleback City of Everett - this was the primary source in researching the episode. It's a good read if you have the time and have an interest in the business/finance side of things. This source dispels both the tall tale of Malaga's surrender to the Everett, and the alleged discovery of its wreckage in 2010.
